Gatsby Music

     Since The Great Gatsby takes place in the Jazz Age, jazz music would accompany the book well.  "West End Blues" by Louis Armstrong would be a good fit for the dance parties at Gatsby's house.  It is a jazzy song and was one of the top songs of the 20s. "I Wanna Be Loved By You" by Helen Kane would fit the book well.  It would be a good song for Gatsby to sing to Daisy.  "High Society" by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band is a good song to represent the East Egg people like Tom and Daisy.
